Thank you all for your kind comments... Ken, sorry i didn?t add a ABOUT on this one. This was taken in Mozambique, one of the most poor countries in the world. Aprox the 80% of population lives in villages in extreme misery. The street shot was taken at one very poor neighborhood, as most of them. Women there are treated like an object, just to make kids. Women most get food for the little ones, if they find. Most of the kids, as this one, have their huge belly as a sign of a terrible alimentation and hunger. All the older kids in the neighborhood look for their food every single day, on the trees, on the trash or anywhere. The boy from the picture also, was full of blue spots on his body, from some strange disease. Women also don?t receive anything from his husband, they are victims of polygamy and they can?t complain or would be beaten. They?re like slaves for their husbands and no one can change it. They only receive one "capulana" per year (that?s the cape-like thing that she wears that is used for anything that?s on her creativity). Well, i should end here, hehe, i wish i could give more feedback on this one but i?m tired of typing. Thanks a lot for your interest and sorry for don?t giving the explanation at the begining.
My best regards!
Antonio

poignant image. But I don't understand the title.
What is happening. The lady doesn't look like in misery. Some explanation about the image will help.
Regards,
ken.

Hi Antonio, Very strong reportive shot. The direction and unusual composition is a vital element to the atmosphere in this photo. It creates quite an unsettling atmosphere, also aided by the title. Very good use of DOF, hinting at the scenery without telling too much.
Strong image!
Cheers,
Hugo
